Dinking and dunking is not as easy as it looks. Being to aggressive by jumping pass routes is an easy way to give up a quick 6 points. Offenses will eventually take advantage of over aggressiveness. Remember Chad Scott?

I believe that it's difficult to maintain TD scoring drives consistently without the aid of big plays. The Steelers coaches know it and choose to teach and preach that defensive philosophy to their defensive players.

You say that like it's been working for the Steelers recently. It hasn't. Offenses have been taking advantage of the defense's timidness. Remember the 2nd & 14 on the Ravens game-tying drive? Ike just stood there and watched the Ravens WR catch that ball for a first down. It's scared football.

The Steelers can either die a slow death by playing scared, or give themselves a chance by taking some risks.

I don't care how many sacks we get, how many ints we get as long as we WIN the game. Stats are for losers, who can twist them any way you want. Brady and PManning have only won ONE SB combined in the last 10 years while Ben has WON 2. Statiscally those guys pile up the stats, while winning the SB is what really counts and we have more than anyone else which does not make us PERFECT every game we play. Just play to WIN THE GAME. I don't care if its pretty just as long as we win consistently.
